Exciting news! After our previous failed attempt, JTA and I have successfully made another proto-baby.
This one’s called Tiny, and has made it past the 12 week mark. Even better, it’s got arms and legs and a heartbeat and moves around all by itself. Progress!
My due date is New Year’s Eve, which is a bit freaky since that’s exactly a year since Jethrik turned out to be a quitter.
I’ve not managed to regain the giddy euphoria I felt last time round, but now that I’m out of the first trimester (also known as “the 8 week period when I felt sick all the time, was sick quite often, and couldn’t tell anyone” – frickin’ morning sickness), I’m feeling a sort of quiet excitement about this whole process. I know everyone’s doing babies at the moment, and it’s terribly old hat, but screw it – I’m joining the club 🙂

Congratulations.
Not sure you needed the picture of the kitten this time!
Maybe not. I felt bad for associating kittens with bad things. And thanks!
[…] now, until we all felt confident that we weren’t likely to have a repeat of that tragedy: as Ruth just mentioned on her blog, too, she’s pregnant again! With a due date of New Year’s Eve there’s plenty of […]
Congrats and best of luck with Tiny 🙂
Thanks 🙂
How the devil are you? We haven’t seen you in forever!
I’m very well thank you 🙂 Enjoying the lovely sunshine out on my balcony at the moment while pretending to work!
Yay, congratulations! Fab news. Hope it all goes well for you. Give me a shout if you ever have any random questions about pushchairs or the like! x
Heh, thanks. I’m sure there’ll be loads of stuff I’ll need tips about – from the books I’ve been looking at, this baby thing seems complicated!
Congrats!
Yay! Massive congratulations, that’s really splendid news. Let me know if you want to meet up soon (we should, it’s been too too long) and if you need any tips on the best places around Oxford to buy baby stuff (hint, not Oxford). Aah, I’m so happy for you all!
Thanks 🙂
It’d be lovely to meet up, we haven’t seen you in aaaaaaaaaages. Kind-of busy at the moment with the whole buying a house thing (why did no-one tell me how hard that is?!), but maybe in August?
Of course, though Dan tells me you’re nearly there so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly and you’re in soon. Some time in August would be great, just let me know when you’re free and what you fancy doing, I’ll probably have wee man in tow but hey, at least we know you like babies right?!
[…] in just over a week’s time, over the weekend of the 27th of July. Unfortunately, owing to having a Tiny in my insides, I’m not allowed to do any heavy lifting, so we’re soliciting extra pairs of hands to […]
